035. Maharaj goes to Ganpatrao Joshi's home

|| Shri Swami Samarth ||

Once Samarth was at Ganpat Joshi's home. Joshi had ordered one of his servants to cut the branch of a lemon tree that was in his front yard. The man climbed onto the tree and laid the first blow with his axe. Seeing the man beginning to chop the branch with an axe angered Maharaj and he said, " How dare you chop a brach of a tree that is under my care!? Break his hands and legs."

On hearing this Joshi immediately ordered the man to stop and ordered him down from the tree. Maharaj was livid and Joshi avoided His gaze and went and sat in a corner. 

After some time Maharaj got up and went and sat in the toilet area. When Joshi and others went looking for Him, they saw Him seated in the toilet area. 

Joshi noticed that a hornet had entered and stared boring Maharaj's ear. Blood had begun to ooze out. 

Maharaj was in a happy and playfool mood now and Joshi worked up the courage to go and address Him. He said, "Maharaj! I do not care of you hit me but I will remove the hornet from Your ear".

He then orderd for a tweezer and carefully plucked the hornet form Shri's ear. On closely examining the ear he could see no sign of blood or any injury. Everyone present was surprised.

Shri Swami Samarth is Poorna Brahma and would often perform many Leelas with His devotees.

Whenever any devotee got into an argument, Maharaj would call him close and place an ant on the palm of his hand to remind them to be as humble as an ant to attract good things into your life.
